Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

This novel gives the dark side of love It think and tackles about the mental
condition of the characters that was helpful to fully understand them. Emily Brontë describes
the feelings of other characters so deeply, yet so realistically, as it is from another persons
perspective. She managed to make such perfect chemistry between Heathcliff and Catherine
that you wanted a piece of it, yet poisonous and obsessive enough to make you see how badly
it would affect the character development of Heathcliff through out the story.
As every new character was built, she made sure to perfectly describe both their
physical wellbeing as well as their mental wellbeing, which helps the readers paint up an
extraordinary organized picture of their character. Most of the characters attribute to at least
one problematic part, including the side characters (ex Isabella Linton, whom falls in love with
the wrong people and wont listen to Catherine and her brother's advice, and Nelly, who gives
up too easily and let's Heathcliff in, even though she is aware that it might cause huge
problems) which gives off a really good effect on us readers, as it is utterly realistic to feel like
the small and kind of "unimportant" characters actually matter and see themselves as their own
main character and they all have different stories to tell about the same events. This effect
becomes even stronger by the fact that it's a "side character" its that tells the story, but also by
how Heathcliff talks about himself. Several times, he has referred to himself as the victim of the
story, small and helpless, drowned in pain, while others in the book tend to describe him as a
threat and straight up a monster. Now these two perspectives may perceive various opinions,
but if you ask me about mine, I must say I agree with both. Heathcliff was indeed abused and
mistreated in many ways as a child, which made him grow up with the thought that everyone
around him were monsters, until Catherine came into his life. As she must've been the only
light point in his life, his heart for sure did die with her. The trauma was afterwards passed onto
his own children as well as hers, and of course, that made him as much of a harmful monster as
a helpless soul, desperately looking for where he belonged. Now that is what I mean, that Emily
gets you into a state of mind where you can only think of what's going on inside each and every
of these characters minds as well as she wrote it.
Overall I think this novel is not for me but I am amaze how the writer tells the
story and how she gives the point of this story. Honestly, I think I will rate this novel 6 over 10 I
personally is not fan of brutal love but I love the writer because this work of art is a great
masterpiece since I also feel the emotion like the readers and audiences the film that we are
irritated of some characters it was just proven that how she writes is great.
